Be Thankful

So this is a card that I made that turned out so much better than I thought. It took my some time and it was my first attempt at water coloring. I think I still need to work on that but it was fun anyway.

Old Olive paper by Stampin Up
Pumpkin Pie paper by Stampin Up
Whisper White paper by Stampin Up
Stamp Set Give Thanks from Stampin Up.
I embossed the flowers onto Summer Sun paper, once again by Stampin Up, and then used some markers to highlight and use in the middle. The pumpkins and apples I used Black Stazon ink, the pumpkins I stamped on pumpkin pie paper and used markers to highlight and the apples I stamped on Whisper White. The saying I used Whisper White and tore around the edges and then sponged pumpkin pie to make it stand out a bit more. I then tore the top and bottom of the white and mounted it onto Pumpkin Pie. I then mounted that onto Old Olive.

This is a Teacher's Survival Kit
that I made for my sons Kinder teacher.

I had found this tin at Target one day and go it thinking I will make something with it one day.
What I didn't know. Well I found this Teacher's Survival Kit online and knew this tin would be perfect for Mrs Bauserman or Mrs B. is what the kids call her. I had a blast making it. This is what the inside says.
